Kennedy sat at the piano in the music room. His fingers moved deftly over the keys. With careful movements he maneuvered a few difficult bridges and then the tone changed. It fell into a dark key and then he ended the melody. With one of his hands he ran it through his hair. With a sigh he turned away from the piano.
Since getting back to the school he hadn’t felt like himself. He hadn’t been in contact with any of his friends and yet he was sure he would have seen her by now. His golden eyes blinked and he pushed himself up off the chair.
With a careful shuffle of his music he started toward the door.

Von had done nothing but be behind sine the day she stepped foot in Hogwarts this year. So finally she'd snagged a bit of time to herself. And like last year she headed to the 5th floor music room for some quality playing. Maybe after this she'd go hunt down her old friends if she had any left. She'd spent the summer at Vi's but hadn't contacted anyone else preferring to practice whenever Vi wasn't gabbing in her ear about this boy or that one. She'd thought about contacting Kenny and Marc but figured the latter would be busy with muggle things, including his tag-alongs Siianna and Clarissa. And the former well they'd parted on amiable terms but she didn't want to seem like she couldn't spend one tiny summer without talking to him. Upon opening the door she almost ran smack into Kenny. "Hi!" She didn't dare reveal just how glad he was to see him, after all she didn't call him Casanova for nothing. He could have moved on and found someone else so play it cool was her first plan.

Kennedy nearly jumped out of his skin. His hands reached out to catch whomever was coming in at him. His piano music went flying through the air. He cursed and then looked up at the voice that came to him. His golden eyes flashed. "Vonali!"
He dropped his hands awkwardly. "Um... Im...I ... Hi..." He settled his gaze on hers. "How are you?" He mentally squirmed at the sound of how lame that came out. He was good with the ladies...
Frowning he glanced back to the piano. "I was just... uh... playing and now im... uh... gonna. "He trailed off... not knowing what to say.

Von was shocked especially since she'd thought he was going to hug her but was disappointed when he dropped his hands. Paper's drifted to the floor before one caught her eye. " Sorry if I startled you. Here let me help you pick this up." She got down on the floor and started picking up pieces. " Practice a lot this summer? I did. At least when I could get a chance." She just couldn't look him in the eye so settled on the papers. the confident Vonali seemed to walk out the door all the time these days and she wasn't sure how to take the change. This was so much more awkward then it should have been she thought.

Kennedy bent down to gather some papers to him. "Yeah... most my summer was spent at my piano composing." He smiled slightly and a small blush tinged his cheeks. "So what have you been up to since we got back?" He tried to get the papers in some semblance of order.
"I thought i would see you on the train but i must have missed you..." He Shrugged and then slowly stood as he go his last piece of paper. He saught her gaze. "How are you Vonali?"

Von handed him the pile of papers she'd gathered her left foot tapping slightly to vent some of her nervous tension. "I've been trying to catch up. Seems I'm late for everything these days, from getting up to sun down I'm always running. Vi and I were late getting on the train too so we got shoved with some first years. I went walking around but we must have missed each other." She didn't tell him the reason behind her being late was that she's been trying to wear make up and taking time to chose her clothes. She also didn't tell him that she'd searched for him the whole train ride only to hear she'd just missed him. Her eyes slowly met his, she tried to keep them indifferent but she wasn't sure if she succeeded or not."Honestly, tired and a bit frazzled, otherwise I'm doing ok. You?"

Kennedy gave her a friendly smile. "Well that stinks... But it was fine.. the group of kids i sat with only talked about the parties they had been at... Apparently if you have money... you are required to host parties.. and sip tea with your pinky extended.. " He flicked out his pinky and pretended like he was holding a glass of tea. Exaggerating an old woman's voice he smirked. "Would you care for a Crumpet my dear..." He held out his recently reacquired papers as a tray.
Continuing his fake voice he smiled and then took on a stern look."Now you take one missy... your entirely too thin... looks like you have been living of nothing but crusty bread and water... Take a sugar scone... they are my great-great-great-great-great...." he paused and counted "great-great grandmother's recipe..."
With a shrug he moved onto her question.. "Im ok... this year has been long... too long.... Im ready to go back home... Serge and i hung out over the summer...meaning i won more candy to tease the 1st years with.... but...i really haven't had a chance... Potions is gonna kill me this year" He grimaced and the smiled. "Come here let me show you what i put together over the summer." He moved back to the piano.

Von nodded in agreement she herself had been forced to go to one or two with Violet but as Kenny imitated an old lady she just busted out laughing. Not only was he funny but she'd talked to a lady who sounded just like that. She was starting to relax out when he mentioned her weight. She blushed slightly but tried to hide it in pretending to take one of the offered treats.
"I'm not sure I'm ready to go home but I am ready for the break. I can't wait til we can go to Hogsmeade next year. She rolled her eyes about him teasing the first years but then giggled as she remembered teasing one in her own year and house.
Her eyes and face lite up at the thought of hearing his new song and she eagerly followed him and sat on the edge of the piano bench. She'd missed having someone who loved music as much as she did and it felt good to be seated next to him. She told herself it was just the music she was excited about.

Kennedy replaced his music... although he really didn't need it. As he adjusted it he smiled and glanced at her... "Well that too... I just... Schools not the same when all your friends are too busy for you..."
He shrugged and glanced at the piano. "Ready? Here goes!" Kennedy's hands moved gracefully the song he was playing he had written in a short amount of time... it wasn't finished but he liked it... It was simple yet it had something magical to it.
With a grin he looked from his hands to Von. "I started this... a week before i left to catch the train... but out of all the songs i have composed over the summer... i like this one the most." He shrugged as his fingers came to rest. He wouldn't tell her it was her that he had made this song for.

Von looked shocked at his words and would have replied but he'd started playing. With a small sigh she closed her eyes and let the music wash over her. It sounded sad and yet joyous at the same time, she had no clue what had been his muse but she was sure he had a lot of great things cooking in his head. " Oh Kenny, that was awesome. You'll have to share your muse with me sometime." She offered him a smile while she tried to think of if they'd been together a week before he left or if they'd split by then but she couldn't recall.
" And some of your friends aren't to busy for you seems you aren't easily found." She failed to think that she'd just admitted to looking for him though she did suppress the information that she'd started hanging out in the common room every chance she got hoping to see him. " So Casanova, break many hearts this summer?" She kept her tone light and breezy hiding the pounding of her heart excited and yet fearing his answer.

Kenny gave a charming smile. "Never! My muse is mine own. And if I tell you... Then my art muse will go away. Muses are a fickle thing." If he remembered right they had just broken up again when he had started the song. But then again he had no clue. His summer had been filled with days of thinking about his friends.
As for friends. He really didn't know what to say. It sounded like she had searched for him. He wondered if that was true or not. "I've been in my room practicing potions." he smirked. "I swear the only thing I have accomplished is to scare the heck outta Folly." He shrugged and turned back to the piano to pluck at the keys.
Kennedy rolled his eyes at the nickname. He had lived under a rock this past summer. But she couldn't know that... He smirked a playful note coming to his voice... "Eh...maybe one or two... I really wasn't counting."

Von smiled not really expecting him to share his muse, like he said they're fickle things. And she would know for a girl who prided herself on rocking out, her summer was filled with writing cheesy ballads. It seemed no matter how hard she tried it all sounded sappy. She blamed it on her parents but who really knew.
Von chuckled as he talked about scaring Folly. " Tabby couldn't care less, though I've been practicing in the common room with a bit of help from Dorian." And all Dorian had asked for was to tease Quill in payment. She wondered vaguely how he'd take the news of Quill's sleep snuggling her but decided it was best if that just stayed between her, Quill and peeper Dorian.
Her heart sank a little and her smile less bright when he mention breaking a few hearts over the summer. She'd secretly hoped he'd missed her, but no need to get all upset over it he could spend his summers how he liked. Forcing herself to be teasing she rolled her eyes and bumped her should to his arm. " You're horrible, Casanova. Though at least you got a song worked on. Mine just never turned out right."
